TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY HELEN VESPERINI Amran Mahamood, who has made a living for 15 years by circumcising young girls, sits next to a girl on February 19, 2014 in Hargeysa. Four years ago, she gave it up after a religious leader convinced her the rite was not required by Islamic law. The centuries old tradition of female circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation (FGM), is on the decline in northern Somalia, though it continues to have some of the highest rates of women who have undergone the practice in the world.
